Another Year at Brantwood Camp |
Hello Brantwood Camp Community!
It is crazy to think that it has already been a couple of months since the camp season finished up for our Summer 2022 Brantwood Campers and Staff! Now as the holiday season moves closer, Mr Gurney and our caretaker, Shawn, are hard at work winterizing camp and enjoying the last of the beautiful fall weather before the snow.
This year was more like our traditional summers of the past, and even with some Covid challenges remaining, our Campers had an amazing time. There were three successful terms this year, that for our Campers were filled with new adventures, challenges, memories, and friends. We are truly humbled by the support from our community to make all of our goals for Summer 2022 a reality!

Some of this summer’s highlights include: - 259 Campers (126 at the Girls' Camp, 133 at the Boys' Camp) got to have the Brantwood Camp experience with us
- $34,000 scholarships and financial aid was received by our Camp Families
-
6 Trips to The Friendly Farm in Marlborough, NH (visits were broken up by camp and Junior/Senior side)
- 16 Silver Lake Overnights
- Medieval Day
- Fourth of July Barbecue
-
Multiple Carnival Days (with a generous Trustee donating the use of their cotton candy machine!)
- Trips to Squam Lake Science Center
- Increased pay and bonuses for Staff
- New equipment and extra program supplies including new ropes equipment, sports gear, tents, sleeping bags, and more!
Yes, camp was still a little different this year, but it was amazing to have these glorious hills and woods alive again with laughter and cheering, chapels and campfires. This was all possible not only because of our wonderful Staff, but because of the generosity of our Brantwood family of alumni and friends. |
